Android Question SMS delivery report

[pxpto]

Hi,

I 'm working on an app that sends SMS and receives the delivery reports. My problem is that I need to match the delivery report with the sent SMS. Matching the Sent/Report by phone number is not an option because I can send several SMS to the same number.

This is my test code:

Sub Globals
    Dim ThisPhoneSms As PhoneSms   
    Dim PhoneId As PhoneId
    Dim PE As PhoneEvents   
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("deliveryreporttest.bal")

    PE.InitializeWithPhoneState("PE", PhoneId)
   
    ThisPhoneSms.Send2("+xxxxxxxxxxxx", "Test", True, True)
End Sub


Sub PE_SmsSentStatus (Success As Boolean, ErrorMessage As String, PhoneNumber As String, Intent As Intent)
    Log("--- PE_SmsSentStatus ---")
   
    Log("Success:" & Success)
    Log("ErrorMessage:" & ErrorMessage)
    Log("PhoneNumber:" & PhoneNumber)
   
    Log("Sent Intent: " & Intent)
    Log("Sent Intent GetData: " & Intent.GetData)
    Log("Sent Intent Action: " & Intent.Action)
    Log("Sent Intent Flags: " & Intent.Flags)
    Log("Sent Intent ExtrasToString: " & Intent.ExtrasToString)
End Sub


Sub PE_SmsDelivered (PhoneNumber As String, Intent As Intent)
    Log("--- PE_SmsDelivered ---")
   
    Log("PhoneNumber:" & PhoneNumber)
   
    Log("Delivered Intent: " & Intent)
    Log("Delivered Intent GetData: " & Intent.GetData)
    Log("Delivered Intent Action: " & Intent.Action)
    Log("Delivered Intent Flags: " & Intent.Flags)
    Log("Delivered Intent ExtrasToString: " & Intent.ExtrasToString)
    Log("Delivered Intent GetExtra(PDU): " & Intent.GetExtra("pdu"))
   
    Dim bc As ByteConverter
    Log("Decoded PDU: " & bc.HexFromBytes(Intent.GetExtra("pdu")))
End Sub

The log I get:

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
--- PE_SmsSentStatus ---
Success:true
ErrorMessage:OK
PhoneNumber:+xxxxxxxxxxxx
Sent Intent: (Intent) Intent { act=b4a.smssent flg=0x10 (has extras) }
Sent Intent GetData: null
Sent Intent Action: b4a.smssent
Sent Intent Flags: 16
Sent Intent ExtrasToString: Bundle[{pdu_size=18, phone=+xxxxxxxxxxxx}]
--- PE_SmsDelivered ---
PhoneNumber:+xxxxxxxxxxxx
Delivered Intent: (Intent) Intent { act=b4a.smsdelivered flg=0x10 (has extras) }
Delivered Intent GetData: null
Delivered Intent Action: b4a.smsdelivered
Delivered Intent Flags: 16
Delivered Intent ExtrasToString: Bundle[{pdu=[B@41684508, phone=+xxxxxxxxxxxx, format=3gpp}]
Delivered Intent GetExtra(PDU): [B@41684508
Decoded PDU: 07910000000000F406880C91000000000006610131213075406101312130954000

I've hidden the destination number for privacy issues.

So, I see in the log that the SMS was sent and delivered.

When the SMS is delivered, I can see its PDU. Using this website to decode it, I can see that there is a value called "Reference" (Value "137") that is incremented automatically on each SMS I send.

(great article on how to decude PDU messages here)

According to the GSM specification, this "Reference" value in the delivery report is called TP-MR. It is the same as the TP-MR of the sent SMS for which the delivery report has been received.

This is exactly what I need: I need to know the reference number (TP-MR) of the sent SMS so that when I receive the delivery report I can match it with its reference number (TP-MR).

Does anyone know how to do this?

Regards,
Jorge

Note that you should move PE to the Starter service. Your current code is wrong.

See this code: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/phonelibrary-updated-phonesms-send.52501/
It allows you to add extra information to each message. This will allow you to identify the messages.

Thank you for your suggestion Earl. That was exactly what I needed.

I'm using B4A 3.50, so I coudn't use the inline Java code. I had to make a library with the "Send3" java code and I can get it to work.. sort of..

Here's my test code:

Sub Globals
    Dim ThisPhoneSms As SendSmsWithExtraData
    Dim PhoneId As PhoneId
    Dim PE As PhoneEvents
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    PE.InitializeWithPhoneState("PE", PhoneId)
   
    Dim id As String
    Dim Extra As Map
   
    id = "123"
    Log("Sending SMS with id: " & id)
    Extra.Initialize
    Extra.Put("id", id)
    ThisPhoneSms.Send3("+000000000000", "Test", Extra, True, True)
   
    id = "456"
    Log("Sending SMS with id: " & id)
    Extra.Initialize
    Extra.Put("id", id)
    ThisPhoneSms.Send3("+000000000000", "Test", Extra, True, True)
End Sub

Sub PE_SmsSentStatus (Success As Boolean, ErrorMessage As String, PhoneNumber As String, Intent As Intent)
    Log("PE_SmsSentStatus:")
    Log("- PhoneNumber: " & PhoneNumber)
    Log("- Success: " & Success)
    Log("- id: " & Intent.GetExtra("id"))
End Sub

Sub PE_SmsDelivered (PhoneNumber As String, Intent As Intent)
    Log("PE_SmsDelivered:")
    Log("- PhoneNumber: " & PhoneNumber)
    Log("- id: " & Intent.GetExtra("id"))
End Sub

The result log is:

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
Sending SMS with id: 123
Sending SMS with id: 456
** Activity (main) Resume **
PE_SmsSentStatus:
- PhoneNumber: +000000000000
- Success: true
- id: 123
** Activity (main) Pause, UserClosed = false **
** Activity (main) Resume **
PE_SmsSentStatus:
- PhoneNumber: +000000000000
- Success: true
- id: 456
PE_SmsDelivered:
- PhoneNumber: +000000000000
- id: 123
PE_SmsDelivered:
- PhoneNumber: +000000000000
- id: 456

So, I send 2 SMS's to the same GSM number. The first one with "id" 123 and the second one with "id" 456. And then I receive the SentStatus for both.. and the SmsDelivered for both. And all events have the correct "id". Perfect!

The problem is that I can only run this code 1 time. If I run this code a second time I get this error:

The only way to make it work again is to delete the "Files" and "Objects" folders and leave just the .b4a file.

What am I doing wrong?

Library attached.

I recommend you to update to a newer version of B4A. B4A v3.50 is quite old now.

Make sure to compile your library with Java 6.

Thank you. I'm trying to use Java 6. This seems to be a very simple library. But I'm having an error that I posted in the SLC thread. Could you please take a look?

I solved my problem using SLC 1.01.
